That is proper alpha-numerical order. If your dates are stored human-like as you have them posted in your question, that it is the best you get. It appears that that is the case. That is, if your dates are stored as “07-April-2013”, “18 -April-2013”, ect., in the database and you sort them, you are going … Read more
This isn’t complete copy/paste code, but hopefully it’s understandable enough to get you started. First step is to register your post type and add a rewrite rule to handle years/months. This will give you single events at event/post-name/, your post type archive at calendar, and handle incoming requests for calendar/yyyy/mm/. Make sure to visit your … Read more
With some more googling: <?php $today = date(“Y/m/j”); query_posts(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘custompost’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 4, ‘meta_key’ => ‘mydate’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘mydate’, ‘meta-value’ => $value, ‘value’ => $today, ‘compare’ => ‘>=’, ‘type’ => ‘CHAR’ ) ) )); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <a … Read more

Make parent categories not selectable This is the result, top-level categories are converted to radio buttons, so only one … Read more
The argument is orderby not order_by but I am not sure what sort_by is. If that is a custom meta field you need to alter the query. ‘meta_value’ – Note that a ‘meta_key=keyname’ must also be present in the query. Note also that the sorting will be alphabetical which is fine for strings (i.e. words), … Read more
As you have stated, rank is defined by a value in a custom field, so you would just need to get the value from the custom field and display it. You can try the following inside your loop global $post; // Just make sure the custom field name is correct $rank = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘custom_field’, … Read more
When you’re saving the data on your custom post type you need to set it so that the meta box value is actually stored as a UNIX timestamp, eg: if(!isset($_POST[“event_informations_date”])) { return $post; } else { $event_as_timestamp = strtotime ( $_POST[“event_informations_date”]; update_post_meta($post->ID, “event_informations_date”, $event_as_timestamp ); } This way you will have an orderable value for … Read more
The correct answer is esc_textarea(). Example: <textarea><?php echo esc_textarea($whatever); ?></textarea>
Yes, You can call action “pre_get_posts”. add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’search_filter’); You can add parameter : $args = array( ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 6, ‘paged’ => $paged, ‘meta_key’ => ‘event_date’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ ); You can use above parameter e.g. : function search_filter($query){ if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set(‘post_status’, ‘publish’); $query->set(‘meta_key’, ‘event_date’); $query->set(‘orderby’, … Read more
You can check it by adding a hook to save_post action. In this way all your posts will have default value for a custom field. add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘wpse8170_save_post’, 10, 2 ); function wpse8170_save_post( $post_id, WP_Post $post ) { if ( ( defined( ‘DOING_AUTOSAVE’ ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) || !current_user_can( ‘edit_post’ ) ) { return; } … Read more
